The Tuesdays at 10pm timeslot has been a big ratings problem for ABC for quite awhile. Show after show has been cancelled. Will their new Forever series change that trend? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner is Doctor Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd). He can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out how or why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: ABC has cancelled Forever after one season. Details here.
Final season averages: 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Keep it on. It’s really great!
I think forever is a great show. I hope it continues for a second season. Love to see what happens next with Henry and joe
Forever should be renewed. It’s a well written show and the cast is great. I love the storyline.
If you want to get rid of something I would like to see all the reality shows go off the air. Most are all about backstabers and who is sleeping with who. Reality shows suck.
Forever is wonderful! If this is canceled I’m giving up on this network.
Just finished watching the season finale. There is no way this show can’t be renewed. It’s exceptional all around. We have far too much reality tv littering our programming, and not enough thought-provoking, intriguing, entertaining shows. “Forever” deserves as much a chance as any other series. If ratings are an issue, MOVE THE SHOW UP to an earlier time-slot..DUH. That’s the problem with the ratings–NOT because the show is of poor quality. Most people during the week wanna go to bed early enough to get up for work, so many are in bed by 9 or 10. If ABC can’t… Read more »
Renew this show the romantic side of jo and Henry like castle keeps it interesting and the knowledge of 200 years of forensic science gives it that csi on a more personal level like Sherlock homes of today. Only show i can’t wait to see or can’t miss every week. Can’t wait to see if jo learns the truth and does he have to show her and the look on her face. Priceless !!! Please renew forever
Forever is a great show with an interesting premise and great chemistry between characters. In addition the lead actor and character has international appeal. Ratings indicate a lot of dvr and on demand activity indicating people are watching more than once. Disney/ABC should renew in this time slot. Ratings should continue to grow.
Please don’t cancel this show. Ioan Gruffudd is SO sexy and the show is thought provoking entertainment. It gives me something to look forward to every Wednesday.
